Anti-Romney Group Plans Local Protest
Take a look at what's happening in Attleboro and Seekonk.
1. A group of Sensata Technologies workers from Illinois are expected to be in Attleboro this morning to confront the CEO at the company's headquarters on Pleasant Street about their jobs being outsourced to China. Sensata was sort of created in 2006 (the actual history is more complex, go here if you want the full details) by Bain Capital, which was co-founded by Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
"The Sensata delegation arrives as part of a nationwide Bain Worker Bus Tour that has traveled to states affected by what workers call the 'Romney-Bain Economy'—an economic model that ships good, family-supporting jobs overseas and slashes wages, hours and benefits for the few positions that remain," the group wrote in a press release.
The protest is expected to take place at 11 a.m.
